SAVE THE DATE: Antique Trunk Show

This Saturday: Variance Objects Trunk Show

Join us this Saturday, September 26 from 12-6pm for a trunk show with Variance Objects.
Meet the designer, Nicole Rimedio, and explore the latest of her hand-cut and finely crafted jewelry pieces. A small selection of loose stones will also be available at the show for clients to work together with Nicole to create custom rings.
A 15% discount will be offered in-store at the event. We hope to see you there! 

Variance Objects exposes natural beauty and form with each hand-cut and hand-set stone. Designer, Nicole Rimedio, chooses stones that are often overlooked in the world of fine jewelry —

rusty carnelians, rare goshenite, and rutilated quartzes -- and elevates them, in their natural state, 

to a place of rough elegance. To read more about Variance Objects see our Q&A interview with Nicole in our next blogpost below. 

Bridal Event at March Sunday, May 17

Our pop up!

Meet our Antique Experts!

We'd like to introduce you to Elizabeth and Susan who have been our estate jewelry aficiandos for over 20 years! We love and admire their personal style and are always in awe of their knowledge of the history the antiques. From the time periods to the techniques, they can tell you all about the romantic histories of each piece and you can let your imagination fill in the rest! Both ladies grew up interested in jewelry after exploring their mothers' jewelry boxes as children. Susan apprenticed with a jeweler at age 13 and went on to train as a watchmaker- one of only two women in her class. Elizabeth studied Business at Berkeley but left the field to pursue her love of jewelry. They have been working together for over 30 years and continue to be an inspiration to us. We are lucky to have them in-store tomorrow afternoon. Please stop by from 2-6pm to see the collection, meet them and learn some of the secrets in the history of jewelry.  Elizabeth is wearing: MiH Star Embroidered Tails Shirt $325NSF Billy Fitted Leather Jacket $790MiH Paris Jeans in Raw $174 Susan is wearing the Rag & Bone Hart Biker Jacket $595

Thanks for Coming! Lizzie Fortunato Trunk Show

Last Friday we had an absolute blast with Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato and all of the ladies and gents who came out for their jewelry trunk show! Despite the slightly dreary weather, we managed to celebrate Spring with beautiful jewels, Pimm's cups, and lots of friends. The girls' mom and brother even made it out!

There is really lovely post about the store and the event on their blog, which is a beautiful chronicle of their daily life and inspiration. We can't wait for Lizzie & Kathryn to come back, try on more clothes, and hang out with us. Thanks so much to everyone who came out to celebrate this inspiring duo! You can also visit Facebook for more photos.
